You my friend are worthless
as a pencil pusher
powerless bureaucrat
Or you help your favorites
and watch while others sink
or swim laughing with joy
Under no pretenses
does schadenfreude play
a role in your art school
Mirth at the suffering
of others without funds
money to make the grade
Your tuition kills me
I wish I'd never come
but then I get to write
Frank lines about people
who don't care about me
foreigners like myself
Rely on nobody
they know they cannot trust
Americans to care
In God We Trust they say
on the one dollar bill
hidden in back a toy
Entertainingly placed
to fool no one in lies
our government will tell
Nobody notices
what is most obvious
a truth they cannot yet
Deny or face as real
that God is a fiction
none will accept despite
Arguments of logic
prove equally nothing
resolves transcendent wealth
Remember who I am
my friend for you are dust
under my feet I dare
End up kicking away
whether you help or not
for bureaucrats I cast
Diligently like stones
across a lake to watch
them skip to sink or swim
Under no condition
do I accept your faith
to help resolve my debt
Simply forgotten gone
out of sight out of mind
attrition cannot last
Talent will boldly face
your desire to displace
students out on a limb
